An Alexandra man at the Merchants last
night said of Representative-elect Wilson, of
Douglas county: He is q plain, blunt, out
spoken man-to such an extent that this fact
alone has made him enemies. He never hesi-
tates to express his opinion, let the lightning
strike where it may. He is q man of strong
feelings and prejudices. He has a decided
adherence of anything mean, iusnuating or
undetermined, which he never fails to de-
nounce in forcible language. He is Il power
full advocate for any measure which he may
favor and no influence, financial, political or
religious would alter his opinion or actions.
The people of Douglas county feel that their
interests will be represented in an able man
uer by their delegate"

One of the funniest spectacles in the whole
affair is the modest attitude of MIR. Pitt Muir
ray. He is not member of the legislature,
but he is one of the most conspicuous figures
| in the hotel Hobbies. and he does not hesitate
to give il out cold that, I'VE were talking over
| who we should put in the field for United
| States senator, / think we will compliment
] Michael Doran. We will probably nominate
| him and stick to him.
| A Chatfeld man at the Merchants yester-
| day said of Maj. George Andrus, who is a
| candidate for postmaster: ''Our corner of
| state will probably give MIN a fair support,
although his having been Milo Whites right
hand man will probably injure his prospects
with certain straight-backed Republicans.
| Our legislature although free traders or low
tariff men generally, will support Davis"
Mr.. Lee stole a march OF Mr.. Merriam by
| selling his bank just on the eve of the eau
Gus. Mr.. Lee will probably sum up now,
! claiming to own 1900 acres of land in Todd
| county, and announce his intention of de-
voting the balance of his life to peaceful
pastoral pursuits.
The impression is gaining ground that Nc
Millan's friends will either refuse to 60 into
the caucus or will bolt if they do 90 il
Neither Senator Mcmillan Or his lieutenantS
| will make a declaration of their intentions
and there is consequently an interval of pain
full suspense.
Charlie Gilman couldn't keep his finger Out
| of the sugar bowl. He is taking part in the
| tragedy IN the character of an ayeuger.
